Normalize property naming across specifications and UML #2

Open rpiazza opened 9 years ago

When the XSD was transformed to UML, we made a conscious decision to not change the names of properties in any way - including case. Since XSD attribute names were lower case, they remained lower case in the UML model. We should consider using the same format for all names going forward.

comment from @jordan2175:

The UML models really need to have a standardized case for field names. Some of the fields in the UML models are lower case and some are first letter upper case. I understand that certain implementations will choose to have some field names be lower case and some be first character upper case as in the case with XML and element values versus attributes, but this should not be part of a universal top level specification.
